Objective: determine does the object in motion continue in motion unless acted upon by an external forces.

Hypothesis: when the cart is crashed into that ramp the weight will fall off of the cart in a forward motion.

Data:
i did 5 trails and all of them were true to my hypothesis.

from doing this project i have learned that whiplash has an affect on anything that is not strapped down.

Objective:determine if the object in motion continues in motion only if acted upon by an external forces.


Hypothesis:The car will stop when it hits the board but the mass will move just a little but will not fall off.

Data:
1. The car stopped but the mass really didn't move.

2. More to the car then the mass moved.

3. The car stopped and the car just moved just alittle.

4.The car stopped and the mass moved backwards.

The mass will m ove but it depends on how far and how hard you push it yes the hypothesis was correct No the object remains at zero.

Our Hypothesis

We thought the car would stop when it hits the board and the mass will move jus alittle but not fall off.


1st Trail
The car stopped but the masss really didnt move.

2nd Trail
More Force to the car then the mass moved.

3rd Trail
The car stopped and the mass just moved just alittle.

4th Trail
The car stopped and the mass moved backwards.


What happens to the 100 g mass when the cart is acted upon by the external force of the ramp? The Mass will move but it depends on hoe far and how hard you push it.


Was your hypothesis correct?Yes,the hypothesis was correct.


Does the mass follow Newton's first law?No,the object remains at zero.

I learned every time you push the object into the board there would never be the same results.

Nothing went wrong in the experiment.

Hypothesis:The car will stop when it hits the board but the mass will move just alittle but not fall off

(Trail 1)-The car stopped but the mass really didnt move

(Trail 2)- More force to the car then the mass moved

(Trail 3)- The car stopped and the car just moved just a little

(Trail 4)- The car stopped and the mass moved backwards.

The mass will move but it depends on how far and how hard you push it.
Yes,the hypothesis was correct
No,the object remians at zero

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to determine if an object in motion continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Hypothesis: I predict that in this lab the 100 mass gram will fall off the car when it is rammed into the ramp.

Materials:
Ramp(1)
Hall's cart(1)
100 mass gram(1)
Cardboard piece(1)
Tape(a little bit)

Procedure:
Step1-place wooden ramp on the floor
Step2- Tape a piece of cardboard over the hole in the Hall's Cart.
Step3-Put the 100 g mass on top of the cardboard.
Step4-Gently pudh the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp.(repeat 4-5 times)
Step5-Record data

Data:
Test 1: the 100 gram mass fell off the top of the cart
Test 2: the same as test 1
Test 3: the same as test 2
Test 4: the same as test 3
Test 5: the same as test 4

Conclusion:
After me and my group has conducted and analyzed our research and data we came to a conclusion that our hypothesis was indeed correct. The car fell off every time we conducted the experiment.
Newton's law was again proven to be true. Nothing happened to the mass until a force was acted upon it which was the push into the ramp. He again proved his theory of motion to be true.
I would not change amything in this lab because it was designed to teach and help us to better understand his law. It also helped us understand how motion works in an everyday life.
The real world application that relates to this lab would be one of those test car dummy experiments.When the dummy in the car was rammed into the wall it fell forward. Nothing happened to the dummy and the car when it was at rest, but something did happen to it when a force acted upon it.

rObjective: Is to determine do objects in motion really continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

My Hypothesis:
I think that when the cart crashes into the wooden ramp that the weight will slowly or maybe vigoursly move foward which will cause the weight to fall off the cart an onto the floor or the wooden ramp.

Data:
Trail 1: The weight swiftly flew foward and fell onto the wooden ramp.
Trail 2: The weight didnt fall onto the ramp, it just slid foward.(maybe enough force wasn't gently applied).
Trail 3: The weight few off onto the wooden ramp but this time it went a bit farther.
Trail 4: Again the weight flew upon the wooden ramp when collided with thw wooden ramp.
Trail 5: And again it flew onto the wooden board but it fell on the round side and rolled a bit.

Results:
My hypothesis was correct!! As i stated in my data, the weight did fly off the cart and unto the wooden due to external force.
Conclusion:
What i learned in this lab is that objects that collide with another object experience wiplash that may result in the object flying backward or foward. What i would change would be nothing because my hypothesis wasnt wrong of course. what went wrong in this lab was nothin because my data went along with the objective and my hypothesis. The mass does follow Newtons first law because no matter if an object is at rest, if external force ia added to the object it will experience wiplash due to a collision or an emergancy stop.I can relat this to a real life situation like when car experts use crahs test dummies to see if a car is more efficent and durable to withstand an impact and as a result the crash test dummies fly foward and slam back on their seats. accademie over and out!!!!!!!!

Lab Report 3
Objects In Motion Remain In Motion

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to determine if an object in motion continue in motion continues in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Hypothesis: I predict that the 100(g) mass is going to fall off the top of the cart, and then it will collide onto the ramp.

Materials:
1-100(g) mass
2-Ramp
3-Tape
4-Card Board Piece

Procedure:
Step 1-We had to place the wooden ramp on the floor
Step 2-Then we had to tape a small piece of card board over the hole in the Halls Cart.
Step 3-Put the 100(g) mass on top of the cardboard as illustrated.
Step 4- We then gently pushed the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp.
Step 5-Lastly we analyzed our results.

Data:
Test 1-The 100(g) mass fell off the top of the cart.
Test 2- Same as test 1.
Test 3-Same as test 1.
Test 4-Same as test 1.
Test 5- Same as test 1.

Conclusion: Our group hypothesis was proven right because every time we conducted the experiment the 100(g) mass fell of the top of the cart. I learned that something that is at rest will stay at rest until something is acted upon it. Also nothing went wrong while doing the experiment. A real world application that I think would refer to this experiment is the “Crash Dummy” in the car when they are testing out cars.

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to determine if an object in motion continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Hypothesis: The 100g mass will stay in the cart and just slide backwards and forwards.

Materials:
Ramp(1)
Hall's cart(1)
100 mass gram(1)
Cardboard piece(1)
Tape(a little bit)

Procedure: Step 1- Place wooden ramp on the floor
Step 2- Tape a piece of cardboard over the hole in the Hall's Cart.
Step 3- Put the 100 g mass on top of the cardboard.
Step 4- Gently pudh the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp.(repeat 4-5 times)
Step 5- Record data

Data:
Trail 1-The 100g mass slide from the middle to the front of the cart.
Trail 2-The 100g mass stayed in place.
Trail 3-The 100g mass fell onto the back wheel.
Trail 4-Repeated trail.

What happens to the 100 g mass when the cart is acted upon by the external force of the ramp? The 100g mass stay inside the cart.

Was your hypothesis correct? I think my hypothesis was a little correct because in pyt that the 100g mass will stay in the cart. It just didn't move backwards an forwards.

Does the mass follows Newton's First law? I think the mass do follows Newton's first.

Lab Report 3
Objects in Motion Remain In Motion

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to determine if an object in motion continue in motion continues in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Hypothesis: I believe that every time the mass collides with the ramp the mass will fall slide up and fall off every time.

Materials:
1-100(g) mass
2-Ramp
3-Tape
4-Card Board Piece

Procedure:
1. Place the wooden ramp on the floor.
2. Tape a piece of cardboard over the hole in the Hall's cart.
3. Put the 100g mass on top of the cardboard as illustrated.
4. Gently push the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp. You must move it gently enough so that the cart does not move until it hits the ramp. Repeat this 4-5 times.
5. Analyze your results. Tell your data: did you hypothesis match your data?


Data:
Trial 1 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.
Trial 2 -The mass fell off of the cart.
Trial 3 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.
Trial 4 -The mass fell off of the cart.
Trial 5 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.

Conclusion: In conclusion, my hypothesis was partially correct al thought the two things I said did had only twice did it actually fall off the ramp. Every other time it just slid forward. However the mass does not follow Newton the object does not stay at rest. This lab relates to real life because if you are in a car accident you could suffer whiplash if not for you seatbelt and head rest.

Problem Statement: Do objects in motion really continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force?

Objective: The purpose if this lab is to determine whether objects in motion stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it.

Hypothesis: I predict that the 100g mass will fly off of the top of the cart.

Materials: For this experiment, I used a wooden ramp, a piece of cardboard, a cart, a 100 g mass, and the floor.

Procedure:
1. I placed the wooden ramp on the floor.

2. I taped a piece of cardboard of the hole on the cart.

3. I placed the 100 g mass on the top of the cardboard.

4. I had to gently push the cart so that the mass didn't move until the cart hit the ramp.

5. I did this repetitiously until I completed 5 trials.

Data:
Trial 1: The 100g mass slid from the middle of the cart to the front.

Trial 2: The 100g mass stayed in place.

Trial 3: The 100g mass fell off of the cart onto the back wheel of the cart.

Trial 4: The 100g mass repeated trial 1.

Trial 5: The 100g mass repeated trials 1 and 4.

Conclusion: The experiment proved my hypothesis incorrect. The mass did not fly off of the cart. Instead, the mass wanted to continue moving due to the fact that the cart was moving. When two things are moving together and stops abruptly, the objects will want to continue moving as stated in Newton's laws of motion.

In this experiment, I would only change the surface that I had to use when rolling the cart so that it collided with the ramp. I had to use a carpeted surface. I think that that stopped the cart from rolling at its full potential. If the cart was rolling on tilled or hard wood flooring, I think that I would have collected more accurate data.

I learned that although an outside object that had once been moving had been stopped, the object within that object will try to continue to move. For example, when an automobile company makes a new car, they have to conduct crash tests that determine whether or not the car is capable of protecting the people that drive it. When they car crashes into the wall, the crash test dummy will jerk forward looking as if it may have broken something or broke apart. This follows Newton's law that if an object is in motion, it will stay in motion unless acted upon an external force.

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to determine if an object in motion continue in motion continues in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Hypothesis: I think that the weights will slide up or fall off when the car hits the wood.

Materials:
1-100(g) mass
2-Ramp
3-Tape
4-Card Board Piece

Procedure:
1. Place the wooden ramp on the floor.
2. Tape a piece of cardboard over the hole in the Hall's cart.
3. Put the 100g mass on top of the cardboard as illustrated.
4. Gently push the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp. You must move it gently enough so that the cart does not move until it hits the ramp. Repeat this 4-5 times.
5. Analyze your results. Tell your data: did you hypothesis match your data?


Data:
Trial 1 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.
Trial 2 -The mass fell off of the cart.
Trial 3 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.
Trial 4 -The mass fell off of the cart.
Trial 5 -The mass moved to the edge of the ramp.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct, every other time the mass would just slid forward or fall off the car. But the mass does not follow Newtons first law because the object does not stay at rest like the law says it should.This lab relates to real life because if you are in a car accident you could suffer whiplash if not for you seatbelt and head rest.

Objective: The purpose if this lab is to determine whether objects in motion stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it.

Hypothesis:I think when the cart hit the ramp that the weight will
fall off backwards.

Materials: For this experiment, I used a wooden ramp, a piece of cardboard, a cart, a 100 g mass, and the floor.

procedure:
1. I placed the wooden ramp on the floor.
2. I taped a piece of cardboard of the hole on the cart.
3. I placed the 100 g mass on the top of the cardboard.

4. I had to gently push the cart so that the mass didn't move until the cart hit the ramp.

5. I did this repetitiously until I completed 5 trials.

Data:
Trial 1: The 100g mass slid from the middle of the cart to the front.
Trial 2: The 100g mass stayed in place.
Trial 3: The 100g mass fell off of the cart onto the back wheel of the cart.
Trial 4: The 100g mass repeated 1 & 4
Trial 5: The 100g mass repeated trials 1 and 4.


My hypothesis was wrong with this experiment. The weight slid forward still in motion going the same speed as the cart. I have learned that whiplash has an affect on anything item that is not held down.

1)100 mass gram
1)Cardboard piece
1)Tape

Procedure: Step 1- Place wooden ramp on the floor
Step 2- Tape a piece of cardboard over the hole in the Hall's Cart.
Step 3- Put the 100 g mass on top of the cardboard.
Step 4- Gently push the cart so that it collides with the edge of the ramp.(do it 4 times alea st)
Step 5- Record data

Data:
Trail 1-The 100g mass slide from the middle to the front of the cart.
Trail 2-The 100g mass stayed in place.
Trail 3-The 100g mass fell onto the back wheel.
